The correspondence between right triangles with rational sides, triplets of rational squares in arithmetic succession and integral solutions of certain quadratic forms is well known. We show how this correspondence can be extended to the…
A positive integer $n$ is called a $\theta$-congruent number if there is a triangle with sides $a,b$ and $c$ for which the angle between $a$ and $b$ is equal to $\theta$ and its area is $n\sqrt{r^2 - s^2}$, where $0 < \theta < \pi$, $\cos…
A positive integer $N$ is called a $\theta$-congruent number if there is a $\ta$-triangle $(a,b,c)$ with rational sides for which the angle between $a$ and $b$ is equal to $\theta$ and its area is $N \sqrt{r^2-s^2}$, where $\theta \in (0,…
The notion of $\theta$-congruent numbers generalizes the classical congruent number problem. Recall that a positive integer $n$ is $\theta$-congruent if it is the area of a rational triangle with an angle $\theta$ whose cosine is rational.…
Consider the elliptic curves given by $ E_{n,\theta}:\quad y^2=x^3+2s n x^2-(r^2-s^2) n^2 x $ where $0 < \theta< \pi$, $\cos(\theta)=s/r$ is rational with $0\leq |s| <r$ and $\gcd (r,s)=1$. These elliptic curves are related to the…
Several discrete geometry problems are closely related to the arithmetic theory of elliptic curves defined on the rational fields $\mathbb{Q}$. In this paper we consider the $\theta$-congruent number for $\theta=\frac{\pi}{3}$ and…
A positive integer $A$ is called a congruent number if $A$ is the area of a right-angled triangle with three rational sides. Equivalently, $A$ is a congruent number if and only if the congruent number curve $y^2=x^3-A^2x$ has a rational…
Let ${\mathbb K}={\mathbb Q}(\sqrt{m})$ be a real quadratic number field, where $m>1$ is a squarefree integer. Suppose that $0 < \theta< \pi $ has rational cosine, say $\cos (\theta)=s/r$ with $0< |s|<r$ and $\gcd(r,s)=1$. A positive…
From Euclid's fundamental formula for the Pythagorean triples we define the rational triples relating certain congruent numbers by an identity and explore their relationships. We introduce two geometric methods relating the congruent number…
We study an interplay between operator algebras and geometry of rational elliptic curves. Namely, let $\mathcal{O}_B$ be the Cuntz-Krieger algebra given by square matrix $B=(b-1, ~1, ~b-2, ~1)$, where $b$ is an integer greater or equal to…
A formalism is given to count integer and rational solutions to polynomial equations with rational coefficients. These polynomials $P(x)$ are parameterized by three integers, labeling an elliptic curve. The counting of the rational…
In this paper, we extend the work of \cite{Chahal} in several directions. We first determine all Heron triangles that tightly circumscribe the unit circle and the associated $\tau$-congruent numbers generated by them. We then characterize…
In this paper we provide a computational approach to the shape of curves which are rational in polar coordinates, i.e. which are defined by means of a parametrization (r(t),\theta(t)) where both r(t),\theta(t) are rational functions. Our…
We consider the problem of finding integer triangles with $R/r$ a positive rational, where $R$ and $r$ are the radii of the circumcircle and an excircle, respectively. We show that for general triangles $R/r>1/4$ applies. The equation…
By using the generalized Bernoulli numbers, we deduce new integral representations for the Riemann zeta function at positive odd-integer arguments. The explicit expressions enable us to obtain criteria for the dimension of the vector space…
A positive integer that is the area of some rational right triangle is called a congruent number. In an algebraic point of view, being a congruent number means satisfying a system of equations. As early as the 1800s, it is understood that…
A rational triangle is a triangle with rational side lengths. We consider three different families of rational triangles having a fixed side and whose vertices are rational points in the plane. We display a one-to-one correspondence between…
A Heron quadrilateral is a cyclic quadrilateral whose area and side lengths are rational. In this work, we establish a correspondence between Heron quadrilaterals and a family of elliptic curves of the form $y^2 = x3+/alpha x^2-n^2x.$ This…
We propose an approach for showing rationality of an algebraic variety $X$. We try to cover $X$ by rational curves of certain type and count how many curves pass through a generic point. If the answer is $1$, then we can sometimes reduce…
It is easy to find a right-angled triangle with integer sides whose area is 6. There is no such triangle with area 5, but there is one with rational sides (a `\emph{Pythagorean triangle}'). For historical reasons, integers such as 6 or 5…
